O'RRIEN AND THE LABOR MEN.

| His Action of Saturday Night a Solemn Duty to the Ir-sh Cause! | NEW YORK, June 5.-A stormy session of the Central Labor union was held day. John McMakin made an address denouncing | Editor O'Brien for his action in refusing to attend the mass meeting last night and reso- l lutions of similar import were adopted. Since the remarkable incident Saturday evening MT. O'Brien has received numerous | telegrams and communications from different places and persons, in all of which his course in regard to the Saturday night demon stration was praised. MT. O'Brien
 said: 'T am not surprised that gentlemen not of the Irish race should not be able to understand the cruel difficulties by which our cause is surrounded at this mo- ment. But I have not the smallest appre- hension that the Irish Nationalists will under stand my action. They know how many ma 1ignant enemies watching every word or act of ours in order to torture them into weapons against Gladstone and Parnell. I am satisfied that they will feel also that I have acted under painful and solemn sense of responsibility to our great leader and from the conviction that any other course would have brought the utter destruction of our movement at the moment when the opinion of English speople is trembling in the balance. I was astounded to see it was stated from the platform at Union Square that I had scored out a resolution referring to Dr. McGlynn, As matter of fact such resolution was ever submitted to mo. The resolutions submitted to me contained no al
 fusion, direct or indirect, to Dr. McGlynn's case. The resolution read from the stand was never in any manner communicated to me. I find it difficult to deal seriously with the suggestion that could be guilty of any insult to labor. As to the insulting sugges- ton that was captured by Tammany Hall or other politicians I can only say that if any American politicians had been guilty of the remotest attempt to influence my judgment in the direction of serving American party interests, I should have known how to resent it."
 Dr. McGlynn Gives His Opinion.
 NEW YORK: June 5.-Rev. Dr. McGlynn was the principal speaker at the anti-poverty meeting in the Academy of Music this even~ ing. Being called on for an expression in regard to Editor O'Brien's action last even ing he said MT. OBrien had made mistake. He continued: 1T was not III the O1lSlIlai TeSOlutlOu about coercion which MT. O'Brin blue pencilled. What MT. O'Brien ought to be ashamed of the penciling of the resolu- tions that the land belongs to the people. Mr. O'Brien is landlord at heart. It is only question of 8 small percentage be- tween MT. O'Brien and Lord Lansdowne." MT McMaken said he had only contempt for a man who would only goad men to acts of violence.
 At meeting of the Fifth ward branch of the Irish National league to-day Senator Grady made an address in, which he strongly commended Editor O'Brien for refusing to attend the mass meeting last night.
